Over 1.6 million Brits don’t want a UK Presidential visit
Around 1.6 million Brits have signed a petition calling for Trump’s invitation to visit the UK to be rescinded. The petition specifically mentions how a Trump visit would be “embarrassing to the Queen” and that the planned state visit should be cancelled.
Donald Trump has certainly done himself no favours in the eyes of the UK. He has insulted Lady Diana, telling shock-jock Howard Stern that, if she were still alive, he could have slept with her. His Twitter comments about the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, have also irked the Queen and country. I mean look at that pic – she looks as if she could still raise hell doesn't she?
The debate over whether Trump’s visit should be cancelled will take place today in Westminster Hall.
Would you like Trump to visit Australia?
Leon, Are you trying to cause dissension? This is a forum for Seniors, NOT left or right wing politics. There is an old statement that says:- Those who are not for me are agin me. 1.6 Brits out of 60+ million means nothing. 48.5 million FOR the visit has a distinct Democratic tone to it. You could probably get that many permanent dissenters to want to invite ISIS to move their headquarters to London. If you want to follow this line, why doesn't Admin give a special award of "Preferred Posters" to Mussifacts & Barak? I have no objection to you expressing a Mussifacts or Barak opinion, BUT I do object to the same thing from LeonYLC.
BTW, YES, I & a lot of other Australian citizens would love to welcome Trump as a visitor. BUT it is not likely to occur in the next year or so. Let us suffice to say that if ISIS or the likes ever decide to attack Australia, his forces will be here to defend us. Our piddling little defence forces certainly couldn't do it.
